My Creative Sketches Challenge

Sometimes you have a photo you want to scrap....& a challenge you want to do - like I had for MY CREATIVE SKETCHES - but you're not too sure that you can 'pull it off'. In this case, my problem was my friend had given me only 2 photos. But the sketch is this:

Soooo... lateral thinking time. I fussy cut & split up the smaller photo for the left hand side....left the bigger, better coloured one for the right.

The background is a 'nod' to Yvonne Yam....FINALLY used the ink residue from my plastic doily & slapped it on this card stock before cleaning it! Similar thing happened with the green sun rays...so, this back ground has actually been waiting a while to be used - & I reckoned it'd be perfect for this sketch!!!

Couldn't RESIST using these Lawn Fawn stamped images...bit tricky fussy cutting those legs, but it was worth the effort! Some OLD baby sentiments from Authentique....& behind, a pile of SRM 'baby' stickers...

The 'hello life' badge is from A Piece of Cake designs....she has LOVELY kits for sale if you're an Aussie:) And the title was heat embossed chippy, then covered in nail polish [yeah....couldn't help myself!!]....

And here you can see the Lawn Fawn sun die, alongside this YUMMY Charm's Creation star...I really had fun doing this page, & I hope my GF likes it. She's a 'new' grandmother.....so lovely she's joined the club! It's an exciting, fun time of life, for certain:):)

WOweee love your take on the sketch.. and yes I know.. sometimes a sketch just grabs you and you just feel like creating a layout for it.. then some sketches as lovely as they are....I just cant seem to make it work.. you have made this work.. so well.. love the rays on your back ground.. love the fussy cutting of your photo, and I had to smile at the thought of you 'slapping' the doiley on your cardstock to use the color up..hehe.. Have a great day!

A fantastic celebration of new life :) Love the background (double bonus that it is leftovers!!!) and the storks are gorgeous and well worth the effort indeed!!! What a fabulous way to share S' excitement at her new arrival :)

A beautiful Baby page - just in time for Christmas. Somehow babies and Christmas just go together in my mind! Love the way you just had the background waiting in the wings. The felt star is perfect. Thanks for the inspiration :D

oh my....that background is awesome! And to think that it's from mists left over on the template/stencils...I love how it's not perfect, IYKWIM. AND the green starburst works brilliantly with all the other colours. You've totally rocked this one & I'm sure your GF will LOVE it!
